Simply C! Value Statements: Christ + Nothing = F C V for everyone! Vision Statement: 1. We believe that the process of becoming a disciple of Jesus involves: baptism, prayer, ongoing learning about the Christian life, regular worship, and participation in activities that utilize one s spiritual gifts for ministry. 2. We value the Bible as the inspired Word of God from which Christians learn about God s truths. 3. We believe in the importance of stewardship of time, talents and treasures, as a sign of a mature Christian faith. 4. We believe that evangelism (sharing of the Good News of Jesus) is the role of every Christian. 5. We believe that prayer is essential for any ministry to happen here at Faith Church.

4 Vision Statement: Faith Evangelical Congregational Church exists to bridge people to Jesus through evangelism (sharing of the Good News of Jesus) and outreach to our community. We here at Faith Church will embrace people through Christ centered worship that exalts Jesus and does so in a respectful manner. We will then develop people through a discipleship process of Christian education opportunities. The Body of Christ will grow together through fellowship and care for each other through the church. Finally, we commit to spending time together as believers to encourage and exhort each other as followers of Christ. Mission: Loving Jesus and Loving Others The church office will be closed Monday and Tuesday, January 2 & 3, Coming Next Sunday, January 8, 2017 Souper Bowl Begins!
